The seven airmen of Det. 5, 817th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron, operating out of the base’s new airlift mobility control center, do everything for airlift crews from booking rooms for crew rest to providing intelligence and special tactics briefings, reports Air Force journalist Louis Arana-Barradas.
